The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 56 The Banquet Begins

But Mu Shuyao leaned back on the couch, with a faint smile on her face: "Tomorrow's protagonist is not me, so why bother to dress up so well to annoy people? In order not to lose people's tongue, Mrs. Wang gave a piece of Tianshuibi Do you want your clothes? I’ll wear this tomorrow.”

"But although the material of that dress is good, the style is actually a bit outdated. It's not what a young lady should wear." Hua Rui frowned when she thought of that dress.

But Mu Shuyao smiled playfully, her eyes were full of coldness: "Tomorrow, I will let them have a chance to laugh at me, but Mu Yuqing will definitely have many accidents, I guess, she insisted on it at all." Until the banquet is over."

Xiao Fang on the side heard this, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and said with a smile: "She can get up and show up at the banquet tomorrow, which is already considered generous of Mu Yanran."

Hearing this, Mu Shuyao's eyes shone brightly, making Xiaofang retreat again and again: "Miss, what idea did you think of again? It can't be..."

"That's inappropriate." Before Mu Shuyao could speak, Huarui seemed to have guessed what Mu Shuyao was thinking, and stopped her: "If Mu Yuqing can't even get out of bed tomorrow, Shang Shufu will lose face. Mu Yanran has always regarded herself as lenient and gentle, even if she doesn't like it in her heart, she will at least let her go through the motions."

Mu Shuyao nodded to signal her to continue.

Huarui went on to say, "However, if Mu Yuqing had an accident tonight, she might put the blame on Miss. After all, she snatched your new clothes, so it's normal for you to feel unhappy."

Mu Shuyao nodded after listening, "It makes sense."

Suddenly the topic changed: "But even if I don't do anything, Mu Yujing will probably blame me for it. After all, in her eyes, I'm just a soft persimmon. Anyone who comes can pinch it. It is better for me to do it directly because of the unknown blame."

"Xiangcao, go to Mu Yanran's yard to find out what's going on." Mu Shuyao greeted her before instructing Huarui to prepare the clothes for tomorrow.

Seeing that it was getting late, he told everyone to go to rest. As for Nanny Zhou, she didn't know where she was going again, and Mu Shuyao didn't care about her.

The next morning, Nanny Zhou saw the celestial blue dress. The color is transparent and elegant, but this style is really... Such clothes will make Madam feel ashamed, so she said: "Second Miss, wear this dress today." The clothes are a little too plain, how about we change into the taupe-colored clothes my wife gave me?"

"I'm not the protagonist today, wouldn't it be nice to dress plainly?" Mu Shuyao didn't have to pretend to be in front of Nanny Zhou now, and felt it was a very easy thing to do, "Or do you want to have a long memory again!"

"I don't dare." Mother Zhou couldn't help shivering when she thought of the bamboo that was drawn on her body that day, and hurriedly said, "This old slave thinks that the style of Tianshuibi is old, and if the young lady wears it like that, it will definitely let the lady wear it." I feel ashamed, it's not good for the young lady."

A faint smile appeared on Mu Shuyao's face: "So, Mammy is thinking of me."

Nanny Zhou smiled coquettishly.Mu Shuyao's face was frozen, and she threw all the clothes that Hua Rui had packed into her arms: "Then mother, look, among the clothes my wife made for me, which one is this year's style?"

Seeing this, Nanny Zhou showed an embarrassing expression on her face. How could Madam prepare clothes for her sincerely? ]
Because there will be a banquet in the mansion soon, a maid came to inform the time yesterday, Mu Shuyao saw that it was getting late, so she ignored Nanny Zhou and called Huarui to help her wash up.

Mu Shuyao is wearing the most popular hanging bun nowadays, because she has not yet reached the age of the hairpin, and the brow-like brows have not been combed up yet. It is playful and cute, and there are two small green flowers dotted on her temples. , These days, Huarui has also learned a lot of skills from the maids in the house, and combing hair is one of them.

Finally, after washing and dressing up, she quietly returned to the room before going out, and put a package of yellow paper-wrapped things in the dressing box, and hid them in her sleeves.

After coming to Mu Mansion for a while, Mu Yanran also organized several tea parties in the mansion, inviting some acquainted ladies from the official family and classmates from the academy.

In order to show the demeanor of her eldest daughter, she would sometimes let Mu Shuyao show up, but it was just a formality, and after a while she would send Mu Shuyao away with various reasons.

Even so, with Mu Shuyao's good memory, he also remembered the noble daughters in Beijing.

The official ladies in the capital are generally precocious. They can comb their hair into a small bun as soon as they reach the age of ten, wear various hairpins, and apply face powder on their faces. Some of them are more beautiful, and they can even put on lip balm. .

Today is also a big day for the Shangshu Mansion, isn't it a big day for the eldest daughter's Jiji ceremony?

But Mu Yongnian went to the early court anyway, anyway, he would not invite male guests on such a day, so he didn't need to be present, besides, to put it bluntly, this was just a major matter for the Mu family, and in the eyes of the royal family, it was nothing. So no matter how much he loves Mu Yanran, he won't take leave of absence from court.

Today's God is still very respectful, it is a good day with high autumn air, early in the morning, the whole Mu Mansion was cleaned spotlessly.

When Mu Shuyao appeared in the garden, the garden was full of ladies from official families, sitting or standing, chatting together in twos and threes, and of course there were many noble ladies beside them, and those people were received by Madam Wang personally on the other side narrative.

Mu Shuyao, who was brought in by the maid, took only a few steps before being spotted by Haitang beside Mrs. Wang. She leaned her head and whispered something in Mrs. Wang's ear, and Mrs. Wang looked at her.

When she saw the clothes on Mu Shuyao, a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly recovered and waved to Mu Shuyao.

Mu Shuyao immediately stepped forward with an obedient expression, and said, "Shuyao pays respects to mother, and regards to all the wives."

"I was still talking about it just now, because I was afraid that you would be nervous and would not show your face." Madam Wang lovingly helped Mu Shuyao up, and looked at her outfit calmly, with doubts in her eyes, but a smile on her face.

Mu Shuyao hurriedly said respectfully: "Shuyao was a little nervous, but thinking that today is a good day for the eldest sister, she had to bite the bullet and come out. It made my mother worry, it was Shuyao's fault."

Mu Shuyao pretended to be nervous and clenched the handkerchief tightly, but she laughed in her heart. She came to see the show and not to hug her thighs. Those official ladies would say a few words if they liked it, and if they didn't like it Just ignore them.

A lady in her thirties next to her listened to the conversation between Mu Shuyao and Mrs. Wang, looked at Mu Shuyao carefully, and then turned to Mrs. Wang: "This is the second young lady that your family has been hiding. OK."

"Shuyao, this is Mrs. Fang." Mrs. Wang's introduction was very concise.
